The Interpret Footage settings auto-reset when you paste footage from Premiere Pro or import a Premiere Pro project into After Effects.

If you save After Effects Motion Graphics templates and Dynamic Link compositions with no audio layer in Premiere Pro 11.1, they fail to load when you open them in Premiere Pro 12.0.

When you paste a composition from After Effects to Premiere Pro, the clips of the composition import into recovery bin.

After Effects displays the created by an older client warning every time you share a team project created in an older version of After Effects from the current version.

Premiere Pro 12.0.1 fails to load After Effects Motion Graphics templates if the Media Cache location is set to the root directory of the drive. After Effects displays a warning Please install After Effects (trial or license) and retry.

When you export composition with alpha channels to DNxHR/DNxHD codec, the files have a black halo (premultiplied alpha channel).

On Windows, After Effects crashes during launch and quit if the User Documents directory is missing or does not have the correct permissions.

Expression-heavy compositions render slower in After Effects 15.0 than After Effects 14.2.1.

Expressions break when they refer to a layer/group that uses the same name, but in a different case.

The sourceData and sourceText expression attributes incorrectly decode Unicode characters in JSON files, which include accented vowels such as å, é, î, ø, and ü.
